Jameson Williams covers grocery tab at convenience store for Detroit resident

Lions wideout Jameson Williams covers grocery tab at convenience store for Detroit resident, says “it’s on Waymo”

Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams made the day of a lucky Detroit resident by paying for his groceries at a local convenience store.

Williams posted the interaction on his Instagram, telling the gentleman “It’s on Waymo.”

After some run ins with the NFL this season after the league disapproved of some of his touchdown celebrations, Williams has a positive light on him during Super Bowl week.

Williams is fresh off his first 1,000-yard season for the Lions. Certainly Williams would love to be in New Orleans this week preparing for the Super Bowl, but this bit of news at least can put a quick smile on Lions fans’ faces during the big week.

Jameson Williams fined for ‘obscene gesture’ during Divisional Playoff

Jameson Williams fined for ‘obscene gesture’ during Divisional Playoff

Jameson Williams’ touchdown during the Divisional Playoff against the Washington Commanders ended up making his wallet a little bit lighter, according to a report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

Williams scored on a 61-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter to pull the Lions within three at 24-21. He somersaulted into the end zone, but it was his actions after getting into the end zone that ultimately drew the fine of $25,325.

Williams was not penalized on the field for his actions but the expectation was that he was going to owe the NFL a few bucks. This marked Williams’ second fine stemming from a not-so-nice touchdown celebration. He was fined almost $20,000 for his gesture during a touchdown in November in Detroit’s 52-6 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Lions respond from pick-six with 61-yard Jameson Williams run

Highlight: Lions respond from pick-six with 61-yard Jameson Williams run

Saturday’s NFC Divisional is turning into Saturday Night’s Main Event with all the exciting action. The latest highlight comes via Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams, taking a reverse from running back Jahmyr Gibbs and going 61 yards for the touchdown. And this was with Teddy Bridgewater in at quarterback after Jared Goff briefly exited the game after taking a hit from Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu on Washington’s pick-six (a hit that likely should have drawn a penalty).

The Lions badly needed to take back from momentum after the pick-six put them in a 10-point hole. The touchdown now has them down 24-21.

Williams now has 80 total yards (61 rushing, 19 receiving) and a touchdown. The Lions now have 150 rushing yards as a team — Gibbs has 85 yards and a touchdown.

Breaking down how the Lions fared in AP’s All-Pro voting

Breaking down how the Lions fared in AP’s All-Pro voting, which saw 13 different Lions get at least one vote

The Lions ended up being well-represented on this season’s Associated Press All Pro teams. Four Lions were named to the First Team, including wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, right tackle Penei Sewell, safety Kerby Joseph and punter Jack Fox.

Plenty more Lions either made the Second Team or at least received some votes towards All Pro. We’ll take a look here at how all the Lions that received votes fared. The full voting results can be found here.

Starting at wide receiver, St. Brown was one of the three wide receivers to make the First Team, along with Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase and Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson. St. Brown received 40 out of 50 first-place votes and totaled 130 points. First-place votes received three points with second-place votes worth one point. Fellow wide receiver Jameson Williams also received one second-place vote.

Frank Ragnow was named Second Team All Pro at center. Chiefs center Creed Humphrey was selected to the First Team. Ragnow received four first-place votes and 35 total votes. Humphrey ran away with the vote, getting 44 first-place votes.

Kevin Zeitler finished fourth among right guards with 26 points (six first-place votes). Broncos guard Quinn Meinerz was named to the First Team with 74 points and 22 first-place votes and Falcons guard Chris Lindstrom was named to the Second Team with 60 points and 15 first-place votes.

Sewell is the First Team right tackle after scoring 119 points and 35 first-place votes, beating out Philadelphia’s Lane Johnson, who landed on the Second Team with 76 points and 15 first-place votes.

Despite only playing five games this season, Aidan Hutchinson received one second-place vote at edge rusher. Hutchinson was dominant in those five games, recording 7.5 sacks, including 4.5 in Week 2 against the Buccaneers. Myles Garrett (Browns) and Trey Hendrickson (Bengals) were named to the First Team with T.J. Watt (Steelers), Nik Bonitto (Broncos) and Andrew Van Ginkel (Vikings) on the Second Team. Bonitto and Van Ginkel finished tied with 18 points, so they both were named to the Second Team with Watt.

Two linebackers earned votes. Jack Campbell scored 16 points and earned two first-place votes. Alex Anzalone, despite missing most of the second half of the season, also garnered a second-place vote. Zack Baun (Eagles), Fred Warner (49ers) and Roquan Smith (Ravens) earned First-Team honors, while the Second Team linebackers are Frankie Luvu (Commanders), Bobby Wagner (Commanders) and Zaire Franklin (Colts).

Joseph led all safeties with 120 points and 37 first-place votes to land on the First Team with Packers safety Xavier McKinney. Kyle Hamilton (Ravens) and Budda Baker (Cardinals) were named to the second team. Brian Branch ended up the first safety out, finishing fifth among the position with 19 points. Baker had 38 points and seven first-place votes, for reference.

Fox just beat out Jaguars punter Logan Cooke for the First Team honors at punter. Both received 15 first-place votes, so it came down to second-place votes. Fox received 17 to Cooke’s 13.

Kalif Raymond, even with missing time due to injury, landed on the Second Team at kick returner, scoring 60 points and 11 first-place votes. Marvin Mims Jr. of Denver earned First-Team honors with 114 points and 35 first-place votes.

Last but not least, Hogan Hatten earned a second-place vote at the long snapper position. Not bad for an undrafted rookie!

St. Brown, Williams second set of Lions receivers with 1,000 yards in same season

St. Brown, Williams second set of Lions receivers with 1,000 yards in same season, joining Brett Perriman and Herman Moore in 1995

The Lions have been rewriting the record books all over during the 2024 season. The latest chapter? Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams became the second pair of Lions receivers to each have 1,000 yards in the same season.

St. Brown had already reached 1,000 yards entering the week. Williams joined him Sunday night against the Vikings. He needed 33 yards to hit the mark. He finished with 34.

Herman Moore and Brett Perriman in 1995 were the first pair to do so for the Lions. This time, it helped the Lions defeat the Minnesota Vikings 31-9 to finish the season 15-2 and secure the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs.

 

Lions offensive foursome makes NFL history in win over 49ers

The Detroit Lions offensive foursome of Gibbs, Montgomery, St. Brown and Williams makes NFL season history in win over 49ers

The Detroit Lions continue to set franchise and league marks across the board. Their latest re-writing of the NFL history books came Monday night against the San Francisco 49ers.

The Lions became the first team in league history to have a pair of running backs and a pair of wide receivers both go over 1,000 scrimmage yards in a single season.

Entering Week 17, Jahmyr Gibbs had 1,596 total yards (1,156 rushing, 440 receiving), David Montgomery was at 1,116 total yards (775 rushing, 341 receiving), Amon-Ra St. Brown was on 1,132 yards (1,126 receiving, six rushing) and Jameson Williams had 953 (890 receiving, 63 rushing).

Due, in part, to his 41-yard touchdown in the second quarter, Williams went over 1,000 total yards and gave the Lions the historic foursome. Williams is also closing in on 1,000 yards receiving, which would give the Lions their first pair of 1,000-yard receivers in the same season since Marvin Jones Jr. (1,101) and Golden Tate (1,003) in 2017.

In addition, the Lions are only the second team ever to have four players record 1,000 total yards and seven touchdowns each. The 2004 Indianapolis Colts did so with Reggie Wayne, Brandon Stokely, Marvin Harrison and Edgerrin James.

Jameson Williams, Amon-Ra St. Brown hook (and ladder) up for touchdown

Lions highlight reel: Jameson Williams, Amon-Ra St. Brown hook (and ladder) up for touchdown vs the 49ers

Ben Johnson did it again. The Lions offensive coordinator dove into his bag of tricks to dial up another highlight-reel play for the Lions.

In a season where it feels like it’s been full of them, the Lions come up with another hook-and-ladder play that leads to a touchdown. This time, it was Amon-Ra St. Brown getting the initial reception before pitching the ball to Jameson Williams

The result was a 42-yard touchdown on 3rd and 12 to pull the Lions within one after Jake Bates’ extra point made the score 14-13 (at the time).

It’s Williams’ 7th receiving touchdown of the season and his second touchdown of the game after his 3-yard rushing touchdown.

 

Jameson Williams fined for his taunting penalty vs the Bears

Lions WR Jameson Williams was fined for his unsportsmanlike conduct penalty vs the Bears in Week 17

We all knew it was coming from the moment the penalty flag flew on the sidelines after Lions WR Jameson Williams and Bears DB Tyrique Stevenson started jawing at one another. Sure enough, Williams was indeed fined by the NFL for the taunting foul along the sidelines in Detroit’s Week 16 win over the Chicago Bears.

Williams was fined $11,255 for unsportsmanlike conduct that was penalized in the game. “Jamo” spun the ball in the direction of the Bears defender. Though the actual act appeared somewhat innocuous, the prior yapping and scrapping between the two did not help Williams’ case. Stevenson was neither flagged nor fined, as he was in the last incident on Thanksgiving.

 

Lions set a new team record for most TDs in a season

The Detroit Lions set a new team record for most TDs in a season in the Week 16 win over the Bears

For the second year in a row, the Detroit Lions have established a new team record for touchdowns scored in a season.

When Jared Goff hit Jameson Williams for a second-quarter touchdown in Week 16 against the Chicago Bears, it was Detroit’s 59th touchdown in the 2024 regular season. That eclipses the previous record, set one year ago when Ben Johnson’s “Goff-ense” established the mark at 58.

The score was also the longest completion of Goff’s career, and the third touchdown reception of 60-plus yards for Williams this season. That ties a Lions team record set by Cloyce Box in 1952.

The Lions still have 10 more quarters of football to extend the team record for TDs in a season, too.

Jameson Williams smokes the Bears defense for the longest TD pass in Jared Goff’s career to put Detroit up 20-0 in Chicago

Jared Goff isn’t known for his deep throwing arm, but the Lions quarterback showed off the rocket launcher in the first half against the Chicago Bears. Goff threw well over the top of the Bears defense and hit Jameson Williams in stride for an 82-yard catch-and-run touchdown.

The 82-yard strike flew over 50 yards in the air, knifing through the chilly Chicago air. It’s the longest completion in Goff’s nine-year NFL career.

Williams’ touchdown elevated the Lions to a 20-0 lead in the second quarter.
